Dear Parent/Guardian,

Welcome back to school! I am excited and look forward to this upcoming year I will have with your kids in my 3rd Grade classroom. During the first week of school, I will spend time to get to know the students, and explain to them what my expectations are for them in my classroom. Every Friday, your child will be bringing home a **//Friday Folder//** which will contain any information to you, all graded assignments that have been completed throughout the week, and a log that will keep track of how many papers students should be giving you in their folder. What I ask of you is to sign the log, stating your child gave you the folder with all sheets inside.

Bullying is an issue that must be addressed in my classroom. I have no tolerance for students making fun of one another, saying hurtful things to a former classmate, etc. As I will explain on the first day of classes, I expect there to be no bullying in my classroom because my classroom is going to be known for its' community of diverse learners in the class. We will listen to one another as they are speaking, we will be nice and not make anyone feel like they are not accepted, and we will work together to complete assignments. I have attached a short video on bullying that I suggest you and your child watch together so that they are aware of the term bullying. media type="custom" key="24680836"

Throughout the entire school year, there will be integration of technology in the class. Exposing your children to technology will help prepare them for the future; as well as their level of engagement and excitement in the classroom is increased. Technology is all around us so exposing our children to it will be beneficial and follow students throughout their lives. I have attached a short video for you to watch about the benefits of using technology in the classroom. media type="custom" key="24680956"

I am looking forward to the school year we are about to begin together! If you have any questions for me, please feel free to email me at acorbin1@gulls.salisbury.edu. Open communication with you is important to me, so I hope to have an open door policy with anything you may want to discuss with me.

Thanks, Miss Corbin
